yes i know about alt+f7 shortcut, but moving with arrows is too slow.
also it used to work (fast move to the left/right) with shift-left/right on previous LTS 10.04, but currently on 12.04 doesn't seem to work. shortcut within a shortcut..
any suggestions?



sorry for not capitalizing, but have some issues with my hands (easier to type the better).

I got a solution for your issue.



First, install the CompizConfig Settings Manager if you haven't yet:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager



Run it either from the dash or from terminal typing ccsm.



Go to "Window Management > Move Window" or just type move window in the filter input text.

Now you're there, change the value of "Keyboard Move Increment" to the amount of pixels you want the keys to move each time (note that maximum is 250).



Btw, another tip: if you're using a keyboard with numeric keypad you can use cntrl + alt + any number of the keypad; and you'll see how the windows have a grid layout being the keypad the grid. This is very useful for me to move and display multiple windows.



(Note: tested on Ubuntu 14.04 & Ubuntu 15.10 & Ubuntu 16.04)
